George Ernest Morrison was an Australian reporter for the ''London Times'', and political advisor to the government of the [[Republic of China]]. He is known as well for his book collection, which is held today in the [[Toyo Bunko|Tôyô Bunko]] in Tokyo.
While in China, Morrison collected some 45,000 books about Chinese topics. These were obtained by [[Iwasaki Hisaya]], third head of the [[Mitsubishi]] Corporation, who established the Tôyô Bunko library and archives in 1924 with Morrison's collection as the core.
